Shipment Weight
The rate charged for delivering your shipment is based on three conditions;
- The origin and destination ZIP codes
- The delivery service selected, and other service options
- The weight of your shipment

The weight of your shipment is determined by Overnite Express at the time it is accepted at one of our sort facilities. The total shipment weight includes all packaging and labels along with the contents of the shipment.

As is industry standard, shipment weight is rounded to the next pound rate level. For example, if a shipment weighed 1 pound, 1 ounce it would be billed at the 2 pound rate.

Our lowest weight level is 8 ounces. Any shipment that exceeds 8 ounces is billed at the 1 pound rate.

Our weighing instrumentation and scales are certified by the manufacturer to be accurate to 1/10,000th of a pound and is tested regularly using calibration weights whose standards are certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
